Nuts was quite an adventurous and smart squirrel kitten. One day, without the notice of his parents, he slipped out of home and set off to Mr. Elk's Candy Company to buy toffees. On the way, he met Robert the little deer, his best friend. He said, "Hello, Robert. Would you like to come with me to Mr. Elk's Candy Company?"
Robert replied, "Sure. But it's a long way from here. We may come across some fierce beasts (野兽) along the way and get ourselves in danger. I've got to ask my mother."
To which Nuts replied, "Oh, don't be such a coward (胆小鬼)! You'll be back home in no time at all. I have been to the Candy Company alone several times and I have never met any beast at all."
"Okay," Robert replied nervously.
Soon they were both marching joyfully through the forest, although Robert did feel a bit uncertain about the idea. After half an hour, they stopped by at Mr. Cooper's house. Mr. Cooper was the wise squirrel fond of inventing various mousetraps or fox traps to defeat predatory(捕食性的) opponents. Nuts and Robert had a brief chat with Mr. Cooper before they continued their journey to the Mr. Elk's Candy Company.、
Several minutes later, as they were travelling on, a frightening beast appeared from behind the bushes. It was Mr. Gordon, the bad fox!
They both screamed at the very sight. Robert rushed away in panic but then he realised that he had left Nuts behind. When he went back, he found that Nuts was frozen still in front of the fox (a common squirrel instinct).
Mr. Gordon licked his lips and said, "I haven't had squirrel for dinner for a long time." He was about to grab Nuts when Robert screamed from behind the bushes. "Well, well. What do we have here, a live and healthy little deer. He would make an even better dinner," said Gordon. He forgot all about Nuts and began chasing Robert.
